I have a new valiant ecotec 615 combi boiler. We had to turn the water off due to a leak in a pipe which has been repaired. When turning the waterr mains back on the boiler won't fire up because the water pressure is below o.1 bar. Instructions tell us to

Refill the boiler but there is no loop or tap to turn water on anywhere in or near the system. Can anybody help .?
